⚖️ Grammar Core: The Equal Scales

How do we say that two things are exactly the same?

We use as . . . as to compare two things, people, or animals that are equal or alike in some way.

AS + Adjective / Adverb + AS
Example: A dog is as loyal as a wolf.
Example: Tom runs as fast as Tim.

Negative (Not equal): If the first thing is LESS than the second thing, we use not as...as.
Example: A cat is not as heavy as a dog.
🚨 COMMON MISTAKE ALERT!
Never mix "more" or "er" with "as". The adjective must be in its base form.
Incorrect: A Mercedes is more expensive as a Toyota.
Correct: A Mercedes is more expensive than a Toyota.
Correct: A Toyota is not as expensive as a Mercedes.

📖 Reading: Tim and Tom

Read and listen to the text. Notice the comparisons!
Click to listen!

These are Tim and Tom. They are very good friends. Tim is wearing a red shirt and Tom is wearing a yellow shirt.

Tom is as tall as Tim. Tim is as old as Tom. They’re both 24.

But Tim isn’t as thin as Tom. Tom is thinner.
Tim swims as fast as Tom, and Tom runs as fast as Tim.

Tim is as strong as Tom. They’ve always liked to compete against each other, but nobody ever wins because they are exactly the same!

🔗 Adding Tag Questions

Use a Tag Question to ask your friend if they agree with your comparison!

Remember the Magnet Rule? Positive sentence ➡️ Negative Tag.

"A dog is as intelligent as a pig, isn't it?"

"Cats are not as energetic as dogs, are they?"
